What is a good way to stick to a hobby longer? Any help on how to stick through it?

[KateDemee]

Hey

So I have a habit of quitting hobbies and I wondered if anyone had any advice on how to stick it out through a hobby long enough to see if you like it?

I kind of try things out but not long enough to really see if I like it. Then I look back months later in and wish I had stuck it out longer

Anyone have to any help on how to stick it out longer? :)

Well if it's a hobby it's something that you like to do so I mean every hobby that I have I've been doing for years

And plus I like working with my hands and I like to create things what kind of hobbies do you have

If you aren't sticking with a hobby it's probably because it's not the right one for you and you're finding it boring. It may also be that you're doing it alone and would find it more enjoyable to do as part of a group that inspires, helps, teaches, and encourages you. Depending on the hobby there may be a club/group in your area you could join or a Facebook group.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

Depends on hobby but generally it's important to be passionate about what you do! If you do something just for the sake of having a hobby then you will not keep doing it for long

sounds like its not the hobby for you, a hobby should bring you enjoyment not be a task to stick to

You confusing what you like or think you like with hobbies. Those are two completely different things. All the things that you have mentioned are things that you liked to try. Hobby is a life long interest that you always had, but never had a chance to experience it and believe me, when you do, trust me you will never and I mean like never stop doing it. To give you a perfect example. Since I was 7 I loved, figuring things out and fixing things (toy cars) decade later, I became a mechanic. loved, Loved, LOVED the field, but HATED the broken and beyond your wildest imagination corrupt mechanical industry machine. Now I work in a medical field, so money is not a problem and yet I still fix cars for other people, for Free (literally), because this is my life long hobby and I enjoy figuring things out and then fixing them very Very much.

Well, my hobby is walking and so far I've been doing great on this walking program now mind this is a hobby, I've got to do if I want to reach my weight goal, if I don't do it I won't keep walking.

[KingOfMe1]

That's not a hobby mate. That's a goal. That's an action step apart of your goal.

[KateDemee]

@KingOfMe1 what is the difference between the two?

[FunkyMonkee]

I've stuck to mine almost my entire life! At least since I was 2!

[KateDemee]

How did you do that?

[FunkyMonkee]

Easy. I've always had a passion and interest in music and records. Now, I've got over 62,000 of them.

Pick a hobby that's easy to do... and most important, something you like. I've been collecting coins all my life... love it!

[syncheart]

If your interested in it, then it shouldn't be a problem. But some hobbies are a little too time consuming. When you pick a hobby you should also consider how much time you are willing to put into that hobby.

Choose something that you think you might get interested a lot

But i understand you that we can't know it without trying

Just try, if u dont like it much, choose different one
